It depends: On how you feel and what the cause is. Some people in that situation will feel dizzy or pass out. Some will need a pacemaker. Please see your doctor. There are some tests you likely need.

Depends: It depends .....What symptoms do you or don't you have? Many people experience heart rates in the 30s during sleep. Further evaluation & holter or event monitoring should be considered. See your physician.
